A Tale of Two Banyas

I have been a zoo keeper since 2001 and have worked at several zoos in Florida. My experience ranges from domestic barnyard animals, to exotic, mostly African hoofed stock as well as numerous reptiles, birds, fish and inverts. It didn't take long after I started working with Rhinos to spark my fascination and they've been my favorite ever since.

I started writing in Middle school and have been taking photographs since my parents put their old 35mm Olympus OM-1 in my hands as a kid.

I have my Bachelors from the University of Miami, Majoring in Biology and English: Creative Writing.

This is my first and Main toon. I started at the tail end of BC as a Troll Hunter in <Menagerie> Alexstrasza -US. I loved being Horde and walked Azeroth as a Troll until I moved her to Alliance in Sept 2011, but she will always be a Troll in my heart.

Banya as she used to be...

Banya <WHU> Icecrown - USDwarf Hunter

Pejeta <Diceros Bicornis> Drenden - USTroll Hunter

I moved Banya over from the WHU on Icecrown to Drenden and changed to Horde so I could have a Troll hunter again. I've leveled her up through Pandaria and had fun experiencing the story from the Horde side of things. She made it to level 90 and is the secret "Main of my Heart." Since I already had Banya on Drenden I renamed her - Pejeta - from a rhino sanctuary in Kenya.I made a guild, it's Diceros Bicornis, the scientific name for Black Rhinos.

A Black Rhino from Ol Pejeta, Kenya.

One of WHU's fun adventures. Banya was there, along with 200 other lvl 65 or below hunters!
